The LJ6L only handles ASCII text and PCL=20 control codes. Additionally, it needs to either have text formatted=20 with additional carriage returns or to treat linefeeds as carriage=20 returns. Many people use apsfilter from the ports to handle print conversion. I=20 prefer setting up my own simpler, smaller filter, like "Simulating=20 PostScript on Non PostScript Printers" in the Handbook "Advanced Printer=20 Setup" section. > I set it up at first on interrupt-driven mode, then on > polled-mode, but it always takes pages and i cant stop it, I tryed stoppi= ng > it with lpc, but nothing.
